Pensioner accused of windows scam in Galway and Athlone tells gardaí he didn't intend to deceive

A pensioner previously charged with defrauding a woman in a windows scam in Galway, and who skipped court, now faces a second charge for allegedly conning another female victim in Athlone. He reportedly told gardaí he didn't intend to do it, but the pattern of repeat allegations suggests a deliberate scheme. The case is at an early stage, with details of the alleged fraud amounts and methods still emerging.
